Hi. My notebook (Toshiba Satellite A75-S229) is having overheating problems. Every time the notebook overheats, it shuts down...just like that (I know that's what overheating means). When I watch an videos, the notebook runs very loud and then after 5 minutes, it shuts down. I can't do much with a notebook that shuts down on me so many times a day. Any solutions? Thanks in advance!

I have family members who have also had similar problems. Your overheating problems may be linked to something more serious but there are a few things I would try first.\012Step 1 - Use a can of compressed air or an air compressor to blow out the dus ...
